# Troubleshoot missing images

If images are missing from your website, other Cloudflare features may be interfering with those images.

To troubleshoot:

1. Perform one of the following actions:

  * [Purge cache](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/how-to/purge-cache) for the URL of the missing image file.
  * [Temporarily pause Cloudflare](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/manage-domains/pause-cloudflare/).
  * Disable [Rocket Loader](https://developers.cloudflare.com/speed/optimization/content/rocket-loader/enable/).
2. Retest the image load in a private browser tab.
3. If the issue is not fixed, try another of the actions suggested in Step 1.
